rhage that left me SO weak that I
could not walk across the room. Had

Last winter q game law passed the
legislature for the special benefit of the
spOrtsmen, it would seem, but there is
one thing the farmer car do. and that
is to forbid anyone from hunting on
his premises. The farmer should exer-
else this protection pretty thoroughly
in the shooting season when his fields
are invaded by gang of dudes whose
only desire is to see how many chick
ems they can kill.-Ex.
The embargo on chicken shooting
will be raised the middle of August,
and the farmers who have been raising
chickens for the city sports to shoot
will have a chance to assert their
rights. We should like to see q law
fining heavily any man who kills for

years the health OF Louisiana has
been improved so per cent. Diseases
that ravaged New Orleans and all
the chief towns, il says, shave been
kept out by better sanitary methods
and by an effective quarantine. The
death rate is 40 psr cent. less than in
ante bellum days, and is now as low
as in any portion ofthe country; the
sick rate is 90 per cent. less. If hu.
man life and human health is to be
counted in the balance. Louisiana
has made immense strides forward
